Chapter 4: Banditry
"Brother is back"! Xinghe's eyes turned red uncontrollably, and it has been eighteen years. Every day, she looks forward to the brother who is only three years older than him, but who keeps everything good for her. From the beginning of the expectation, then to the disappointment, and finally to the despair.
But now, his brother has come back and has become a great person, and she has also become a princess admired by everyone from a village girl.
Inside the house, Xingya brought a bowl of her own well water to Xinghe and Titan.
The Titan stood up in surprise and said, "Thank you, Your Highness the Princess." ”
Xingya snorted like a mosquito and ran away.
Xinghe took a sip of the water lightly, knocked on the table and said, "Titan, there is a bandit at the top of the fifty-mile mountain, and the number of people is unknown. ”
When the titan heard this, he naturally knew the meaning of it, and arched his hand: "Before sunset, the last general will definitely return." ”
After the Titan finished speaking, he walked out quickly, returning quickly, but there was no sound at his feet.
There was a sound of horses' hooves in the courtyard and they hurried away.
After sending away a good man, Xinghe got up and walked in this small thatched house, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Huanghuang Courtyard is not as good as this small grass house." ”
"Small stones. The old man called softly.
Xinghe put away what he was thinking, walked over and squatted down and said, "Grandpa." ”
The old man touched Xinghe's hand and said with a smile: "God bless my Xing family." ”
Xinghe said: "Grandpa, can you and grandma go to Shenzhou with me?" ”
The old man shook his head, glanced at the back of the busy old woman in the kitchen, and chuckled: "Little stone, grandpa and your grandmother won't go, Shenzhou City is far away, and it can't withstand that toss." You can take Niko with you, she still has plenty of time to see the outside world. ”
Xinghe nodded, got up and walked outside the house, Xingya under the big tree by the well looked out of the mountain.
Xinghe walked over and sat down next to him.
Xingya opened her mouth and asked, "Is my brother that kind of big official?"
Xinghe was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”
Xingya looked at Xinghe with two eyes and asked, "How big?"
Xinghe thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "A product of the imperial court." ”
Xingya asked again: "Can that brother kill someone?"
Xinghe was startled, and looked at the girl in front of him who was talking for no reason, as if he was sure that these words really came from his sister's mouth?
Xingya asked, "Can you?"
"Yes, whoever my sister wants to die, he has to die. "Star River Channel.
"I want to die the person who killed my father and mother back then. Xingya gritted her teeth and said, the sea of blood is deep, and it will never be forgotten.
Xinghe got up, took the BMW in the courtyard, and stepped up and said, "Get on the horse." ”
This horse is the wild horse king that Xinghe occasionally won in the Xiliang grassland that year, the whole body is black, and it can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is called black narcissus.
In order to tame this horse, Xinghe has gone to great lengths.
Xingya stretched out her hand, Xinghe pulled, and the two of them rode together, all in the direction where the titan had just left.
After a while, they came to the foot of the mountain, and the sound of weapons clashing came from the mountain.
Xinghe knew that it must be the Titans and the mountain bandits fighting.
Lifting the reins, Black Narcissus rushed straight into the bandits' den.
When he arrived at Xinghe, the battle was over, and the cottage was full of the smell of blood and the corpses of the mountain bandits.
Seeing this scene, a trace of timidity appeared in Xingya's eyes, and Xinghe patted her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, there is a brother." ”
"Generalissimo Qiqi, the mountain bandits have all been annihilated. When the Titans saw the arrival of the galaxy, there was a trace of surprise in their eyes, but they still reported it truthfully.
Xinghe nodded and said, "You can see the mountain bandit with a scar on his face." ”
"Bring it up. Titan Dao.
A man walked up with a head and handed it to the Titan, who took it and said, "But this person." ”
"That's him. Xingya said.
Xinghe glanced at it and nodded, "Yes, this is the person." ”
This face, turned into ashes, the brother and sister also know each other, it was this person who killed his father and mother in front of the brother and sister. If it weren't for the brother and sister who were hidden by their father back then, I am afraid that the brother and sister would also be unable to escape death.
The Titan casually threw his head out and said, "Search carefully for me, don't let a mountain bandit go." ”
"Yes!" said the Five Hundred Janissaries.
"Hurry up. ”
After a while, two guards escorted a hunchbacked old man, carrying a wooden sword on his back, and his hair covered half of his face, making it difficult to see, and a man dressed in tatters came over: "Marshal Qiyu, general." The subordinates found this old man in the stable, sneaky, most likely a mountain bandit. ”
The old man knelt on the ground, hugged Xinghe's feet and said, "Master Jun, the villain is not a mountain bandit, the villain is just a groom who was captured by the mountain bandits to feed the horses." ”
Xingya was startled and took a step back.
"Bold bandits, let go of the marshal. The Titan said, slashing at the old man.
Xinghe raised his hand and slapped the knife face, and the Titan took a few steps back.
Seeing this, the old man hugged Xinghe's legs even tighter, and said gratefully: "Thank you uncle for saving your life." ”
Xinghe's face darkened, uncle, who is who's uncle, you are old enough to be my grandfather, and you still call me uncle?
Xinghe said: "Get up and speak." ”
The old man stood up and said with a flattering smile: "What does the uncle command?" ”
Xinghe Dao: "Who are you, what are you doing, and why are you in this bandit's den?"
The old man said: "The villain was originally an old man in a mountain village, and the people in the village called me Lao Zhangtou, but the village was ransacked by this group of mountain bandits, so they brought the old man to feed them to the horses." ”
"Old man in the mountain village?" Xinghe smiled and said, "Why does the old man in the mountain village carry a wooden sword?"
"This ......" Lao Zhang Tou explained with a smile: "The villain has had a dream of going to the end of the world with a sword since he was a child, but ......"
Speaking of this, Lao Zhangtou showed a shy expression, and he didn't say any more.
Xinghe's smile became even stronger, and he stared closely at the wooden sword on Lao Zhang's back: "So you are a swordsman who has no ambition?"
"Uh-huh......" Lao Zhangtou nodded desperately, as if to say yes, I am a swordsman.
"Generalissimo, don't be deceived by this old man's words. I think he's an old bandit, just cut it with a knife," the Titan said in a loud voice.
When Lao Zhangtou heard this, he knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy: "Wronged, wronged." ”
"How can you treat an old man like this!" Xinghe waved his hand, helped the old man up, and said, "Old man, get up quickly." ”
The old man quickly got up again, and said flatteringly: "Uncle is really a good person, Guanyin Bodhisattva is alive." ”
Looking at the old man in front of him, who had no score at all, Xinghe really felt like he was punching cotton.
"Old man, since you're a swordsman, you should be able to use a sword, right?"
The old man nodded shyly and said, "It will be a little bit." ”
Xinghe asked, "How much is a little bit?"
The old man glanced at Xinghe, stretched out his hand to the position of Xinghe's head, and muttered and shook his head, "No, no." Then it came down little by little, slapped it on the ground and said, "That's it." ”
Xinghe suddenly felt like he had been tricked, and at the same time he felt a little funny.
The surrounding Janissaries all laughed.
Even Xingya smiled and said, "Brother, this old man is so interesting." ”
The old man's eyes suddenly looked at Xingya and snorted twice, and he said, "This girl, the old man is surprised to see your bones, do you want to consider following the old man to learn swords." In the future, you can be guaranteed to be a powerful party, for a generation of heroines, why not be happy!"
Xinghe has a sentence in his heart, the old king and eight calves don't know whether to talk about it or not, what are you mixed up with this Nima, and you still want to accept disciples, isn't this a scourge. also shocked the rivers and lakes, and bragged and didn't look at the situation.
"No, no. Xingya shook her head desperately, even if she really learned swords in the future, she would not worship this old man as a teacher.
With a wooden sword on his back, he dared to call himself a swordsman.
Xinghe didn't pay attention to the old man, and commanded the Titan: "Gather the men and retreat." ”
"Assemble, retreat. ”
The Titan shouted, and the five hundred Praetorian guards quickly assembled, without a single casualty.
The old man looked at the situation and prepared to smear the soles of his feet with oil.
But where would Xinghe give him a chance and give the Titan a look.
The Titan lifted the old man's head and threw it on the horse's back with one hand, and rode down the mountain without holding it.
The old man on horseback screamed loudly: "Oh, my old waist is broken, Mom, my sword is broken, ah, I'm going to fall, slow down, slow down......"
